Background: Blowflies are a group of species which belong to Calliphoridae family, and they often colonize human and animal corpses. Being the first species to settle on cadavers, they have become of great forensic importance. They lay their eggs on corpses and play a crucial role in the decomposition process. Many species of blowflies appear globally while some of them live in certain regions. Calliphora vicina (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) (Diptera, Calliphoridae) is a species which is common in Turkey as well as in the rest of the world. Aim: The aim of this study is to summarize the morphological features of C. vicina adults from Turkey so that they can easily be used by non-specialists including the police and forensic teams. Material and Methods: The specimens were collected using liver traps. The flies colonizing the traps were killed by thiamethoxam. The dead specimens were collected, identified, and photographed.However, morphological features of the adult species were evaluated using different keys. Results: The key was created for the purpose of easy identification of this fly in Turkey. Conclusion: Calliphora vicina is cosmopolitan. In this study, there was no significant difference in the morphological characteristics of C. vicina species between specimens from Turkey and those from Europe
